For those of you running 37s, have you lost 8th gear on the highway at 70+?

I lost 6th gear often in my Tundra with 35s. I don't want to lose 8th in the JL!

NOT my Punk’n JLUR, but the same color combo I stumbled across this on Instagram. It has a JKS 2.5” Suspension lift, 37” TOYO R/T’s on Fuel 20” wheels. I would only do 17” wheels on 35’s or 37’s, but this gives me idea what my Rubi would look like on 37’s. :like:

Here’s an interesting video from MOPAR in reference to the “curved coil springs” in their lift kits:

Hmmm! It’s certainly odd that no one from MOPAR mentioned before that the springs were intentionally designed to have a bow in them. Or did I miss something?

Thanks! I'm back and forth if I wanna lift it that 2 inches. Looks perfect for now without a lift

Nice. These are the stock rims at 7.5 but specs on the tires say min of 8.0. That Ok or is that pushing it into a safety risk?

The JK wheels were the same and essentially everyone had no problem with the Duratracs, BFG's, and other 12.5" wide tires.

No safety issues. Just a great way to get a poor mans bead lock.

Here’s mine on 35x12.5R17 BFG KO2’s. I’ll ad the spacers and the Mopar lift when they arrive later this week.

how much do your tires stick out?
